Gary - GearBest (no relation ::paranoid:: ) has them here: http://www.gearbest.com/pocket-knives-a ... 54398.html for $8.28/each. I see no mention of them on the Ganzo website (http://ganzoknife.com/search/?query=G725M&Submit=) so maybe they are Buck leftovers branded with Ganzo shields.

Mitch where did you get the Ganzo Stockman from. Didn't know Ganzo made any classic patterns. Its a dead ringer for the newer Buck Chinese Models. Wonder if Buck having Ganzo make there Chinese models. Love it ::tu:: ::tu::

My order from GearBest was split up. I got four knives this week and the other two should arrive next week.

The top knife is a PA60, don’t know what company made it.
The second knife down is the Ganzo G727M.
The third knife down is a Sanrenmu LAND 910.
The little thing at the bottom is a Sanrenmu MD116, it is a slip joint not a lockback.

At first I thought the PA60 would be too big, but I’ve been carrying it the last couple of days and it’s something I might carry from time to time but probably not on a daily basis.
The Ganzo G727 is nice, I haven’t carried it yet but I will give it a try probably next week.
The Sanrenmu LAND 910 is incredibly comfortable to use. It says the steel is 12C27, which is a Sandvik steel, or perhaps a Chinese copy of a Sandvik steel, I’m not certain. Either way it’s actually pretty impressive in its edge holding abilities. The PA60 has a bit better design for slicing up a bunch of cardboard boxes, which I used the LAND 910 and the PA60 to do yesterday. While the PA60 cut a little smoother due to a thinner blade design, I think the LAND 910 had better edge retention and it is much smoother and easier to use.
The little knife, it’s cute. I will probably give it to a granddaughter.

I am waiting for a couple more next week and will post more information about them when I received them.
All in all, I am pretty impressed with the two knives that I. Admittedly, I was rather skeptical about these knives, but they’re actually pretty impressive, especially when you consider the price. The LAND 910 was my favorite of these four for comfort, hand fit and ease of opening/closing, and I felt that had better edge retention than the PA60. I will see how the G727 works when I carry it next week.

The Land 910 looks similar to the large Sebenza 21. Dale do you happen to have a large Sebenza for a comparison picture ?

Well done ! Thank you Gary.
The 'old' SanRenMu 710, 3 3/4", (now 7010) is i believe quite similar to a Small Sebenza.
Here is a pic of the SRM7010 which i took from an ebay seller.

I have a few SRM 710, and your right its similar to the Small Sebenza, I'm thinking of handle material like G10 or CF on a mini 910 would be nice.

Sanrenmu "Land" 910 Plus

Sanrenmu has released 2 new versions of that wonderful Sanrenmu "Land" 910 Plus, check them out links below.

I would find a different seller the one in the links below is over charging on shipping.

Gary that $25 shipping charge would be cost prohibitive for me.

Phil, here is a link to the 910 I have, $14.79 and $3 or so in shipping.
http://www.gearbest.com/pocket-knives-a ... tml?wid=21
I really like this one, one of my favorite Chinese made knives, which reminds me I have to get pics and post a couple more.

Roland,
The 'old' SanRenMu 710 is the one you sent me isn't it? It is a very good knife.
BTW, I haven't forgotten about the comparison you wanted to do with the knives you sent me; I have added a few to the equation though! :mrgreen:

Yes it is. I am still carrying & using the first SRM 710 i got 7 years ago. The frame lock is still rock solid & edge retention continues to impress.

2-4 weeks if it's coming from the land of sliding doors and..... uh, well you probably know the rest of that.

Most shipments from China arrive fairly soon, like under 2 weeks. But sometimes a package takes longer, up to 4 weeks. However in my experience they always do arrive.

Thanks, I'm glad we're talking weeks instead of months. I finally found some knives I can afford. ::ds::

Here is the Feenom...Produced in China someone is paid,shipped to USA someone is paid,sold to distributor someone is paid,sold to market place someone is paid,consumer ends up paying for product and spends 7 to 18 dollars and everybody is happy.How much for a SOMETIMES quality knife does it cost to do this? A friend of mine likes to carry a pocket knife as most southern boys and girls do and he came to me a year or so back with as nice of a bone handled sharp good feeling knife as one would need and he gave 12 dollars shipped to his door..ROUGH RIDER>...Back to what someone said earlier,if it feels good and you like it...get it.

All those way stations in the supply chain and everyone makes money. At the prices they go for on eBay, I would really like to see the base cost to produce.

I'm very happy with the Sanrenmu knives I bought from Gearbest.com, especially the Land 910. I'm glad I bought two of them, the best knife for the money I've ever bought. They took three weeks to arrive.

That's what I paid too, about $8 less than eBay. I bought 3 other Sanrenmu knives too that were only $6 or $7. They're nice but just a little too small. The 910 has been in my pocket since it arrived, my new favorite knife.

Powercutlery.com has a few ganzo autos left but you better order quick. Shipping on the cheap too. I've ordered probably 20 or more, mostly autos, probably why they are almost out. I highly recommend them. Hope this helps anyone wanting them and they have more than just ganzo.

Hi,All:
It pains me clear down into my gizzard,to admit how impressed that I am, with a couple of knives that I acquired recently. they are of very high quality, sharp as a razor, and just beautiful. I might have known that they were made in China, as the price was extremely reasonable. I have become interested in money clip knives, and both these little knives are of that design. One is a Browning, #0097, BRK- SM- Cocobolo, lock open folder, the other a Mtech USA MT-1238, also a lock open folder, with a very thin smooth action, and a dull finish. both are made of Stainless steel. I only wish knives of this quality could be made, and sold, in the USA, for reasonable prices. Here are pictures of them, shown with other knives of that type. You may or not agree with my opinion, but, everyone has, an opinion, just as they they also all have "rear ends".
